Tickling the Ivories

Ashley’s headed down to Zanesville the next couple of days for the Buckeye Christian School Association’s annual competition at Zanesville Christian School. We have a “Christian school at home” here, but our neighbors to the north, Mentor Christian School, only had one pianist, and so asked for Ashley’s help.

Ash will be accompanying five students of MCS for eight performances:

• Solo: “Ah! mio cor” [mp3] “Ah! mio cor” [YouTube] (“Ah; poor heart”)
• Solo: “Bel Piacere” [mp3] (“Tis great pleasure)
• Solo: “Jesus, I am Resting”
• Solo: “Nel cor piu non mi sento” [YouTube] (“Why feels my heart so dormant”)
• Solo: “Standchen” [YouTube]
• Duet: “Sound the Trumpet” [YouTube]
• Duet: “Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah”
• Trio: “With a Voice of Singing”

Note: the links I provided are obviously not the actual performances! I included them to give you an idea what they sound like.

If any of these win first place, they’ll go to nationals at Bob Jones University the first week in April. She’s hoping for that!

Bustin’ Concrete!

The Greenfield Estate Basement Project moves into its next phase: a bathroom!

Now, bathrooms might not be that big of a deal to you, but try having one bathroom–and a small one at that–for eight people, which includes five females! We’re definitely looking forward to having a second full bath.

We started busting concrete for the lines and etc. Saturday. Talk about hard work! We had sore muscles…

This next picture might not mean much to you, but it represents a good two hours of work! The big hole in the back busted out so easy, we thought we’d be done with everything real quick. Then we hit a spot where the concrete was an easy five inches thick, which took much longer. The hole is now 33″ deep for the pump…

 

Here’s some pix of Lydia–nothing to do with the subject matter of this post, but she sure is cute!
